Disappointing news with Gillespie. Really wish the best for him, silly mistakes as a teenager. I wish times news could’ve released it another way. They didn’t need to blast him like that. From what I’ve seen with Poore the past 7 years, he will handle this the right way. 

I might be the only one but from the info we have seen I probably would lean towards playing him. How many high school basketball players do you think were doing a little drinking this past Saturday night. Even on teams that are in the final 8. I guess it's all about not getting caught though.

Hate it for DB, as it will hurt their chances, but I don’t Gillespie playing again. If this was a one time thing, maybe, but the fact is this is the second time this school year that he’s gotten into trouble. I just don’t see any way Poore and the administration allow him to play.

Getting caught for a second time is probably going to be the big issue here.

I was about to say that. This is the second DUI.

Didn't see Gillespie in the Facebook video just now of the team boarding the bus to the 'Boro.  Guess that answers that question.

Was the first offense a DUI?

From what I heard it was, but he was a minor. Not 100% on the full story.

2 DUIs at age 18...........Guy must be able to pound beers.

I believe the first was marijuana.  He was with Dabbs of Greeneville when it happened, I do know that.

Dabbs was suspended till after the first of the new year for his role.  Gillespie only sat out three games.

If it was his first time I don’t care to play him but after this you can’t play him. I don’t see how he can be changed with DUI. I guess the only way is that push button ignition.

Yeah, they are saying its the same as having the key in the ignition.
